| Lake Superior in Michigans Iron country 1800's
>By hook or by crook the people managed to get a mail once in a
while, but I have known intervals of three or four months at a time when
no mail, or letter, paper or news of any kind was received by anyone in
the county. Then when a mail did arrive all work was suspended, even
the cooking and the washing until the letters could be read or devoured !
In those years I had more or less (personally) to do with the getting or
the carrying of the mails, sometimes with dogs, sometimes with Indians,
and sometimes on my own back I brought in the mail-bags.
